About

Hi there!

I am an assistant professor in the School of AI Convergence, Soongsil University. My interdisciplinary research lies at the intersection of language intelligence, data science, and social science. I focus on addressing societal challenges, such as misinformation and bias, by formulating technical problems through dataset constructions, developing language-oriented AI methods that align more closely with user perspectives and domain principles, and applying these methods to real-world data. My work has been published in leading venues across NLP, data science, and interdisciplinary venues, including ACL, WWW, and ICWSM. Since 2021, I have led the HUMANE lab (Human-Centered Language and Data Intelligence).

Before joining Soongsil University, I was a postdoctoral researcher at UCLA, working with Dr. Jungseock Joo (now primarily affiliated with NVIDIA). I also held a postdoctoral position at the Qatar Computing Research Institute, where I collaborated with Dr. Haewoon Kwak, Dr. Jisun An (both now at Indiana University Bloomington), and Dr. Sanjay Chawla. I received my Ph.D. in Web Science from KAIST, under the supervision of Dr. Meeyoung Cha (now primarily affiliated with the Max Planck Institute for Security and Privacy).

I am open to academic and industry collaborations. Please feel free to reach out!
